The Countess of Wessex showed off her sewing skills during a reception for a group of Girl Guides at Buckingham Palace this afternoon.
Sophie, who spent the early part of this week in Zambia where she attended the funeral of President Michael Sata, helped put the finishing touches to a charity quilt.
A delighted Sophie also got a hug from Girl Guide Lucy Upton, who had been given the job of presenting a posy but chose to add a cuddle too.
The quilt making party was held in support of the Sensational Sew1 Challenge, a project that aims to raise awareness and find funds for a cure for Type 1 diabetes.
Inspired by Juliet Flynn, 16, a member of the 10th Romford Senior Section who was diagnosed with the illness in 2008, Girl Guide groups all over the country have been making patches for the quilt - and have raised more than £1,000 so far.
